\S
S)ave the message as it now is.

\C
C)ontinue adding new text. New lines are added to the end of the¨
message, until you enter a blank line. To enter a blank line into¨
your message, enter at least one space to the line.

\A
A)bort the message. Throw it away; you are asked "YES" or "NO".

\L
L)ist the message as it is. You can use various edit commands to¨
change anything you don't like. 

\E
E)dit a line. Change, remove, or add one or more words.

First, you are prompted for the number of the line to be edited;¨
and the specified line is displayed. 

Next, you are then prompted for the character(s) that you want to¨
change; enter the EXACT CHARACTERS you want to replace.

Then, you are prompted for the string of characters with which to¨
replace them. The new line is displayed.

* To change the entire line, D)elete and then I)nsert.
* To add a word, change something already there to itself, plus¨
the new word; for example, you can change "my dog" to "my new¨
dog" by changing "my" to "my new".
* To delete a word, hit just [CR] when asked for the new word.

\D
D)elete one or more lines in your message. Enter a number to¨
delete that numbered line. You can also delete a RANGE of¨
numbers. To delete (for example) lines 5 to 23, enter "5-23". All¨
lines below it are renumbered.

\I
Insert new text starting before the line number you specify, and¨
stopping when you enter a blank line. Lines below the line you¨
start on are "moved down" to make room for the new text. 

\R
Read the contents of the Edit Buffer. (See the "W)rite-Buffer"¨
command in the Message Section.) Because this reads in the entire¨
Edit Buffer, you will probably want to delete some -- see the¨
D)elete lines, "RANGE" option.

\H
Change the message H)eader. You can change -- "To:", "Subj:", ¨
and "Private"; in the FidoNet message section, you can also ¨
change the destination FidoNet node address.

The current, default value is shown in [square brackets]; to¨
choose that, just press [CR].
